I've been trying to figure out how to sum up my weekend at a barn in Iowa for Cate's birthday gathering, and I'm not sure I can-it feels big and tiny at the same time, and I wish I could fold up the experience and keep it in my pocket.
We drove through storms and country that looked more like New England woods than Midwest farmland to get there; we cooked, we ate (corn fritters! kitchen sink salsa! Julia Child's amazing scrambled eggs!), we drank wine; we marveled at the scudding clouds and the clear view all the way to the horizon; we bundled up because it was so chilly, saw sunrise and sunset and a shooting star and constellations and the milky way. It was delicious, all of it. :D
